e’re used to welcoming the odd famous face here at HQ, but we’ve never had three world champions in the building all at once before! Not only did Steve Peat, Rachel Atherton and Charlie Hatton all turn out for our inaugural Rider of the Year awards in Bristol, but so did a plethora of other pros, from World Cup stars Bernard Kerr and Laurie Greenland to backflip world record holder Tom Isted and YouTube favourite Ben ‘Deakinator’ Deakin. They were joined by a host of industry folk, along with many of-backed GT Viris team and some familiar faces from the pages of the mag over the years, including Andrew ‘Doddy’ Dodd and Andrew Titley.
